Middle School Engineering 2 – Co-ops & Classrooms Textbook (Ages 12–14)
Designed for curious students aged 12 to 14, this course builds on foundational STEM skills and is ideal for co-ops and classroom groups. Students who enjoy hands-on building, robotics, and exploring how things work will thrive in this engaging engineering curriculum.
Covering eight engineering disciplines — electrical, mechanical, biomedical, computer, petroleum, environmental, aerospace, and robotics — students work on team projects such as building circuits and breadboards, constructing catapults, programming small robots, and creating powered paper airplanes.
Students learn to analyze the success and failure of their projects, developing critical thinking and problem-solving skills. Team presentations via PowerPoint deepen communication skills, while technical drawing is emphasized through lessons on creating mechanical designs in three views.
The course also highlights the contributions of great engineers throughout history, focusing on how their work glorified God, tying engineering achievements to a Christian worldview.
Prerequisite: Middle School Mathematics.

Course Description:
Students that excel in engineering typically have a curiosity for how things work. They love Legos, and robots, and enjoy taking apart your appliances!
This course continues building STEM skills for the upper middle school student with engaging team projects in 8 engineering disciplines including electrical, mechanical, biomedical, computer, petroleum, environmental, aerospace, and robotics. Specific projects include building circuits and basic breadboards, understanding gears and catapults, exploring logic through Turing machines, building and programming a small robot, building powered paper airplanes, and so much more. Students will learn to analyze their projects to understand why they work and why they fail. Students will present a team PowerPoint presentation for a design. Additionally, students will learn how to draw a mechanical design in three views. We will explore the great engineers of the past, and discuss how God used their designs to bring Him glory.
